Modular Buildings
Fitzgerald Construction has been constructing transportable modular classrooms for the Ministry of Education for the last three years.
​
The offsite manufacturing process has been of interest for some time. Leveraging our expertise in building for the education sector, we eagerly embraced the opportunity to commence construction in a factory environment and ship buildings across the South Island. With a comprehensive range of skills, we not only engage in factory construction but also handle on-site foundation work and final commissioning.
​
Offsite manufacturing has a big future for Fitzgerald Construction, and we are enthusiastic about the expected growth in this construction method.

Building a Sustainable Future
Our OMB Buildings are made with consideration for the environment. We use a Steel Framing system, which is proudly manufactured in New Zealand from locally mined West Coast iron-sand and is made with a component of recycled steel.
The steel is galvanised during the manufacturing process and requires no further additional preservative chemical treatment. Because steel-framing sections are rollformed to length there's minimal wastage, reducing the environmental impact from building site waste going to landfill. Steel is also 100% recyclable, again and again, without losing its properties.
​
What makes our buildings better?
Our OMB Buildings are made to be used anywhere in New Zealand - and built to stand the test of time. We use the following systems to be sure of this:
​
- We use Acoustic walls and Ceiling linings, which create optimal learning environments by reducing and managing the reverberation.
​
- Our modules use a Warm Roof System. This helps us exceed the requirement of insulation standards. It also cancels out the sound of heavy rainfall all while retaining a high ceiling height.
​
- We use Metro Thermal Heart aluminum joinery which almost doubles the thermal performance of standard aluminum joinery.
​
- We use maintenance-friendly, long-lasting cladding systems. Such as Colorsteel, Axon Panel, and Timber Weatherboards.
Module form buildings make getting access to hard-to-get spots and places possible. They also have the benefit of being relocatable if need be. We have just recently relocated into a new facility to build our Modules in. With this new building, it will provide us with a bigger space and improve efficiencies and production output.
